Cammie Dunaway Confirms New Pikmin Isn't Remake

'Mr. Miyamoto referred to a new Pikmin,' says NoA Sales VP.

There is a new Pikmin title in the works along with the recently announced Wii remake, reports IGN. Word of a remake of the original Pikmin for the Wii caught some fans off-guard who wondered if they may not be getting a new game after all. Months ago, Shigeru Miyamoto casually mentioned that the company is working on Pikmin, but the wording was vague and sparse, meaning the remake could be all he meant. However, Nintendo of America Sales Vice President Cammie Dunaway confirms that there is a real Pikmin sequel coming as well as the Wiimake.

"[The remake is] not the Pikmin that Mr. Miyamoto referred to," Dunaway said. "Mr. Miyamoto referred to a new Pikmin, as opposed to the classics that are being rereleased on Wii." This should come as welcome news to fans of adorable sentient plants, as it looks like you'll be able to catch up with the classic and play the further adventures of Captain Olimar.

Good .

With all this Nintendo love...

I may end up buying a Wii sooner than I expected...Sin and Ounishment 2, Pikmin, Mario, Zelda, Metroid...Nintendo knows how to please...too bad they have a feast or famine mentality about it (even during a time of "feast" it's more like scraps, even if they are the best scraps you've ever had...)
